ive installed from the 2008 minimal iso , configuring a manual kernel.
When i boot my system I get a kernel panic message
It stops here
Code:

Time : hpet clocksource had been installed
Clocksource tsc unstable ( delta=-428556903 ns)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02.000[A]->GSI 17
BUG : unable to handle kernel null pointer dereference at virtual address
printiny eip: c027c5d8pde 00000000
OOps :0000 [#1] SMP
.....


so what is the problem ?
(and how do a capture the data from the kernel panic)

FWIW Ubuntu server 8.0.4 installs without a problem on this machine.
[/code]

When I removed the r8169 driver from the kernel the booting process proceeded.

Other thing is note

When booting from my external HD and installing , the drive in the aspire was recognised as sda.
When booting from the gentoo kernel it was hda - so had to reboot off the Ext disk and it had to be changed in grub.conf and /etc/fstab

However, I still cant get a network connection - but that is another problem for another thread

Try creating r8169 as a module. (That's what I use on my acer one.) I tried the r8101, downloaded from some link, but that driver would fail after a short while with heavy use. (NFS chroot, had to reboot my big machine)
